Nichrome (nickel-chromium) offers excellent oxidation resistance and ductility, ideal for temperatures up to 1150°C. Kanthal (iron-chromium-aluminum) provides higher temperature capability (up to 1400°C) and better resistance to sulfur atmospheres but is less ductile.
Consider operating temperature, environment (oxidizing or reducing), required resistivity, mechanical strength, and compatibility with insulators. Consult material datasheets and standards like ISO 13577 for guidance.
